$16
Dry, tannic and well-structured, this wine erupts with white pepper aromas and flavors. Then the fruit kicks in, all blackberry jam, leather, espresso, bitter chocolate and toasted cedar wood. It’s different from the usual Lodi Zin, taking it to a higher plane of elegance and sophistication.

If you’re looking for a kosher Chard, try this one. It’s a fine wine, rich in fruit, well-oaked and balanced, with the creamy, full-bodied mouthfeel you want in this varietal. The peach custard, pineapple and kiwi flavors are simply delicious.
